New Jersey Institute of Technology (8/2/18) - “Mengyan Li and colleagues at New Jersey Institute of Technology have isolated a bactirium that degrades the pollutant 1,4-dioxane… In the current study, Li’s team found that the DD4 bacterium degraded dioxane and 1,1-DCE in both lab media and contaminated groundwater samples over time and continued to reduce their levels to low enough concentration ranges to satisfy the remediation goals set by several U.S. states.”
